HHHmmmm, I've "turned 29" 8 times. The first time, was the first time I moved into an apartment alone (I was all ready out of my parents' home, but had roommates, etc) away from my family and made a little bit of a career change. I guess you could say I grew up!

I turned 29 recently and I have to say that I agree. I feel like I've 'woken up' and there is so much to think about and so much is being put into perspective. The kind of mom I want to be, the kind of ex I want to be, the kind of partner I want to be, co-worker, employee, daughter, sister, where I stand in this life. Most days feel like my head is going to explode! BUT, I'm still not looking forward to 30!

29 was a big year for me.... I realized what I REALLY wanted out of my life with a husband and partner. I got divorced from 2nd husband and married DH. I left my hometown where I had always lived and moved to DH's town. There were many many other things that year, but those were the biggest.

Then I turned 30 and on my 30th birthday I spent the day in bed crying because I was officially OLD. LOL So I'm wondering what's going to happen next year when I turn 40!!! Yikes! haha

Now that I'm thinking about it, 2 of my best girlfriends got remarried that year too. We're all having our 10 year anniversaries this year.

It was 35 for me. My ex-MIL died when I was 35. She had a miserable life with her husband. After 49 years of marriage, she finally gathered the courage and left her abusive husband. Six months later, she was diagnosed with cancer. She died five years later. I held her as she died, and that's when I realized I didn't want to waste my life anymore. My marriage was going down the same road as hers, and I saw myself at her age still in that same relationship. I got out and I've never been happier.

Ha! 29 is such a distant memory for me, I can't even tell you if it was an important year.

30 was a great year for me... I started over at a new job in a new town, 5 hours away from home.

35 was another fantastic year.....I started a whole new career!

40 was ok... I was very happy in my career, but was starting to feel like I was actually aging. Up until that point, no one could believe I was 30 or 35... 40 started creeping up on me.

45... YUCK. I do not, did not like 45. Age and gravity have taken effect. I have to really watch what I eat, because I gain weight so easily. My boobs ballooned from a nice 32 DD to a 34 DDD. Yuck.

My face is sagging. My boobs are sagging. My spirits sag a lot easier too.

Eventually someday, I would like to get a face lift and boob reduction. I have definitely definitely finally hit my mid-life crisis!!

*** A rainbow just threw up on me... and now I'm sh*tting glitter! ***

i think it's happening to me a year and a half earlier....

I turn 25 in 29 days. To me that is when I am "officially old". I joke about it, but seriously I'm kind of freaking out. I don't know why 25 is such a "magical" number for me lol.

I got married to DH soon after I turned 29. The year before I divorced my 2nd husband and started a new job.

Just turned 29 in December...it hasn't really changed anything for me..lol. Just got me one year closer to 30!

This is soo funny to read! About an hour ago (I'm 29 and will be 30 in a few weeks,) I was just thinking about this. I feel like, OK, I've spent the last decade having babies (I first got pregnant at 20 and here I am at 29 having my fourth and probably last child.) It's significant to me and being 29 means the end of my fertility. I thought about how my 30's will be spent raising these babies and getting their little lives up and off to a good start. I see my forties as an enrichment time for me, and doing things like buying those things you just don't when you have young kids and trading in that family car for something more sexy. LOL!
I can work with this but I'm sure a skid or DH disaster will significantly alter one if not all of these dreams! In reality SS or SD will probably end up living with us when they're in college or God forbid something happen to BM and we end up with them all the time again. OK, that snapped me back to reality!

I think my 29 crisis is starting early since I'm 27 and already doing the whole life eval thing...it's not pretty but hopefully once I'm done I'll have some good perspective.

I did have a kid when I was 19...and I can tell ya I won't be having another one at 29.
